Different Quests

They have different opinions

In many issues

That leads to their impasse

He wants his freedom

While she is willing to sacrifice 

When they make family decisions

She thinks he is selfish

He complains she does not respect his choice

She prefers simple design

He insists elaborated process

When decorating their home

She deems his way wasteful

He considers her taste boring

She likes the quietude of mountain retreat

He loves the excitement of ocean sports

When they choose their vacation 

She feels he is too adventurous

He disagrees with her conservativeness

It is not an issue of right or wrong 

But the difference of their life values

Leading to their discord

Compromise is the only way

To achieve their marital harmony
